Les - The Warwickshire County Council election count is now under way at several venues. A total of 62 seats are up for grabs.

Final results are expected at 2pm, but we will attempt to keep you updated as they come in. It's currently a hung council with no party in overall control.

The Conservatives will hope to increase their slender majority to an outright majority of councillors against all other parties and independents. I'll be at the Warwick district element of the count - being held at Stoneleigh Park for the first time
